Inspector Petros Mutedza’s widow Joice Mutedza spoke to The Herald concerning the sentencing of three MDC-T activists who were convicted of murdering her husband and said that they deserved the death sentence.
Said Joice Mutedza:
I am still shocked and troubled with the death of my husband. I can take solace in the fact that justice has prevailed at last, but I strongly feel that they deserved the maximum penalty of death, because they killed my husband. Law is law, I have nothing that I can say. It is at least better to have them jailed than to go scot-free. My husband died a cruel death and now we are suffering. Its law, but it’s painful.
The late Insp Mutedza was stoned to death at Glen View 3 Shopping Centre on May 28 2011, while he and his team were trying to disperse the opposition political party youths, who had gathered for an unsanctioned rally. Three MDC-T activists; Tungamirai Madzokere, Yvonne Musarurwa and Last Maengahama, who were part of the opposition political party were convicted of killing her husband and were sentenced to a combined 60 years imprisonment.
